About this property

Retro-Modern Cabin in the Pines

Greybeard is a custom-built vacation home on a private, ½-acre wooded lot. This unique property was completely rebuilt in 2015 and has been upgraded to include every modern comfort & technology, while keeping its classic1980s charm.

There's abundant natural light and air -- every room has several windows and/or skylights. Surrounding the house on three sides are over 750 ft² of illuminated boardwalks, stairways, and wood decks that seem to float out into the forest. Forced-air central heat and A/C, double-glazed windows, insulating open-cell privacy blinds, and foam insulation ensure year-round comfort.

On the main level is a roomy kitchen and dining area that can accommodate from 2-6 guests and overlooks the multi-level rear deck. In the soaring living room, sink into the leather furniture and enjoy a built-in entertainment system with 55" LG Smart TV and fiber-optic WiFi. Easy plug-ins if you choose to use your own streaming or gaming device. And stream music from your own Bluetooth device on the soundbar. Spend an evening curled up in front of the cozy, eco-friendly electronic fireplace.

The downstairs bedroom is in its own wing with direct access to the rear deck. This amazing sanctuary has 6 windows and a skylight, yet remains completely private even when the blinds are open. Custom built cabinets provide plenty of storage. The Stern & Foster pillow top queen mattress delivers a great night's sleep and a ceiling fan.

Up the circular staircase, you'll find another amazing bedroom that overlooks the treetops. This light-filled aerie has a queen-size Tempur Pedic adjustable mattress, a 32" Samsung "The Frame" Smart TV. Easy plug ins if you choose to use your own streaming or gaming device, an opening skylight, a custom-built desk and closet.

The spacious bathroom has under-floor heating, a large walk-in shower, and vanity. (Please note that the bathroom is adjacent to the kitchen.)

There's off-street parking for three vehicles.

Just steps from the door is a little-known open space with over 600 acres of pine forest, wildlife, and hiking trails with views of the Swan Mountains and Glacier National Park in the distance.

A large store, coffee hut, and gas station are just four blocks away; Super 1 and Safeway supermarkets are a 10-minute drive. Historic downtown Whitefish is a short 10 minute drive, Big Mountain Ski Area is 20 minutes, Glacier National Park is 30 minutes, Glacier International Airport is 15 minutes, and the North Kalispell shopping area (Costco, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, etc.) is 10 minutes south.

For your comfort and security, a home automation system provides keyless PIN entry, programmable central heat & air conditioning, automated exterior lighting, a programmable safe for valuables and smoke/Co2 alarms.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Dietrich

Host profile image
I spent 30 years in the hospitality industry, starting in Yellowstone National Park and eventually working all over the world, before settling back down in Montana. I'm really excited to be able to share my amazing small house and the big, beautiful state of Montana with you!

Why they chose this property

I bought this property 20 years ago after falling in love with it at first sight. It's small and quirky, and the original owners were obsessed with over-building everything. It suited me perfectly!

I moved out of the area for work, and the house became a long-term rental until 2014. Renovating the house took more than 1½ years, everything except the foundation and studs was replaced. Most of what you see today was done by me personally.

Because it's a smaller house, a lot of design and effort went into making the best use of the available space, without making drastic structural changes.

What makes this property unique

The location is central to downtown Whitefish, Kalispell, and Glacier NP. The property is in a quiet residential neighborhood with easy access to the main highway, but it feels more like a remote mountain cabin.

Despite the wooded hillside setting, I've tried to create a more sophisticated and contemporary vibe than you'll typically find in Whitefish vacation rentals. A lot of extra attention and expense was given to ensure maximum comfort, convenience, and security.

Unique to this area is a 600-acre forest preserve that's literally across the street from the house. You can wander for hours on easy trails without seeing another person. There are fantastic views of the Swan Range and the peaks in Glacier NP from here. Don't be surprised if this is the discovery and highlight of your trip!
